Cup RACE thread --- Bristol dirt

[DIDIT]

What is they protocol for getting a dirt track back? Work it up and pack it in?

Well...depends on the track and the conditions. That's dirt.

 

[Kiante]

We shouldn't need an explanation over the rules.

This is something that should be explained BEFORE the race and not focusing on the theatrics, but hey its JMO.

 

[BobbyFord]

Why don’t they just let ‘em build sprint cars for this once-a-year farcical racing?

 

[wi_racefan]

Correct. Yellows don't count tonight.

They did earlier. Caution at lap 17 for the optional/mandatory pit stop and restarted on lap 25

Scoring and the field is frozen after each stage. They did the same on the end of the first stage. I really don’t know what is so hard to understand

The caveat here is this is unique to the Bristol dirt race due to the non-competitive pit stops

This is hilarious.

NASCAR will wait this out just to avoid the embarrassment of a scoring technicality deciding the race, won’t they?

Looks to me like they're having fun screwing Kyle Busch over lol

What scoring technicality?

Probably run 'em a couple of laps under yellow and hope no one else spin out.

It's Easter...who cares... run em in the mud until sunrise. It's Bristol baby!

My apologies, not during STAGE breaks.

OK, Mike Joy read the statement, but some of it went right over my head. Something got lost in translation.

It's probably not you.

 

[Kiante]

FOX, NASCAR, and Bristol all have different positions for drivers?

Good lord.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Why did they drop competitive stops in the first place?

 

[lisa]

imagine this is your first ever race you’re watching


get that person a beer

I think they need something stronger.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Mother Nature screwing over the spring Bristol race year after year

 

[JGR_20]

they way it seems to me when cars choose to enter pit road they relinquish their track position.

I understand nascar will give a statement that defines how the 14 wins this and how there shouldn’t be any confusion, but i feel like its bs

But Scoring and the Field are frozen. No official laps were completed after the stage end

 

[34R7H130UND]

Glad Joey did that

 

[RacerrecaR]

Why did they drop competitive stops in the first place?

Because of safety concerns with drivers trying to enter the pits under green

 

[DSquad48]

It was definitely announced during the broadcast that pit stops would be non-competitive...
Case of crews not paying attention during briefing ?

 

[BobbyFord]

Where are track air titans

They’re in the garage getting the All-terrain T/As mounted…

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

I wanna watch the Crown Vic takes laps around the track. It has to be more interesting then listening to Myers and MW

 

[carolinabuff]

Why did they drop competitive stops in the first place?

I believe they said earlier that it was due to the going from the dirt surface to a paved pit road would be too much of an issue for the drivers. Or something to that effect

 

[Magicmiler]

Remember this... Next week,
Talladega...

 

[lisa]

I heard it said. It was something to do with going from mud, whoops I mean dirt, to concrete.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

At least the Celtics won.


So Briscoe pitted. Kyle Busch stayed out. Briscoe still the leader lol

That’s Bs

 

[HoneyBadger]

They freeze the field in short track racing too but you put and you relinquish your spot.

As usual, NASCAR defies logic.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Why did they drop competitive stops in the first place?

I think because the difference in the surfaces of pit road and the track. Seems I heard them say something about it earlier.

 

[JGR_20]

But Scoring and Field is frozen. No official laps were completed after the stage end

When they all tried to roll again, i feel like thats the thing that puts the other guys ahead

 

[carolinabuff]

I'm certainly not a Hamlin fan but this is very well said

 

[Kiante]

NO ROSS IS OUT!?

 

[BobbyFord]

Chastain needs a headlight adjustment

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m amazed Fox and the drivers they’re interviewing, are completely lost knowing what position they’re in

 

[Efisher131]

Remember this... Next week,
Talladega...

5 years ago the Martinsville, Richmond, Bristol, Dega 4 week period was the best time of the schedule. Not so sure about that now.

 

[Nitro Dude]

That worked out just about perfect. It was just starting to dry out enough to need the water truck and bingo a small shower and the track looks good again. Let's go racing boys.

 

[34R7H130UND]

The car crossing the line and blowing up i feel like that happened too but I dont recall who or where
